HOW TO ENTER

Follow @rickisfashion on Instagram (http://instagram.com/rickisfashion) and post a photo using the #loverickis hashtag.

If the Participant does not email social@rickis.com within seven (7) days of notification, incorrectly answers the time-limited mathematical skill testing question, does not claim the Prize after five (5) business days, or is otherwise disqualified from the Contest, another winning Entrant may or may not be selected, at Ricki’s sole discretion. Should Ricki’s choose to award a Prize to another winning Entrant, it will select a Prize winner among the remaining eligible entries.

PRIZES

There will be one (1) individual prize awarded per monthly draw (twelve (12) prizes in total). The Winner of each draw will be offered a $100 Ricki’s Gift Card. The prize will be delivered to the Winner by mail or transferred to a Ricki’s location of her choice, to be picked up by the Winner within 30 days.
